Summer is here and that means we are all turning to cooler foods and drinks to help beat the heat. One of my favorite desserts in the summer is a milkshake. Milkshakes are so delicious and can be made in so many different ways. We were all talking about our favorite candy bars the other day and I decided to try and make a milkshake to mimic one of Mathlete’s favorite. Creating this almond coconut milkshake was fun and was so easy thanks to Silk Almond Coconut blend that I used to get a really delicious coconut flavor. {Hint: search #collectivebias and #SilkAlmondBlends for even more almond milk recipes}

For this milkshake, I used a combination of Silk Almond Coconut Blend and Silk Almondmilk Protein + Fiber. Both gave the milkshake a delicious almond flavor with just a hint of coconut added in. I love the idea of the extra protein and fiber I was adding into this sweet treat too. I hadn’t seen the Protein + Fiber version of Silk Almondmilk before but I was visiting Safeway for something else and stumbled upon it in the dairy aisle.

This milkshake is the perfect combination of almond, coconut and chocolate. The banana is the perfect sweetener but it leaves absolutely no banana taste. Trust me on that one…I can taste banana in practically anything it is put in and I couldn’t pick out the flavor! Silk almond milks provide the perfect balance of almond and coconut flavor. Plus, it tastes delicious and is has so many great nutritional benefits.
